yet another web framework medium article with a misleading angular vs react comparison.

it isn't angular 2 anymore. it's just angular. it's been out for over a year and if people were having problems running it in production, we would hear about it. there are many sites running angular 2-4 in production, google it and see for yourself. just because google didn't rewrite gmail in angular doesn't mean you shouldn't use it.

I wonder if there is some highly ranked google search result that spreads this misinformation, months after some of these points were valid.

I run latest angular, works pretty good. We even got some support from google angular team itself - it's amazing.

Not fan of angular or any other framework in particular but this gets the job done so far. If only they finish angular universal faster..

I guess what the author meant is that when they started their project, Angular 2 was still not production stuff.
The pop culture cuts both ways it seems.
Every framework is going to have flaws, but if you perform a comparison I think there's a responsibility to accurately represent the frameworks being compared.
